Do you eat lunch?
Do you skip lunch?
Do you work out?
Play sports?
Are you not allowed a lunch?
Forced to take lunch?
Work a shift without a meal?


At various times I've:
1. Carried my brown-bag out to the canals to watch the Manatees grazing.
2. Eaten at resturants with co-workers.
3. Met my spouse for lunches in the park, followed by a short run.
4. Skipped lunch and shortened my hours.
5. Worked out in the company gym during lunch.
6. Gone for a long run during lunch.

Currently, I paddle out for a surf a few days a week at lunch. Other days, I take a shorter lunch and just run down to the beach to check the surf and get some exercise. Sometimes I'll eat at a resturant with co-workers, but only on special occasions.

So, what about you?

All 12 months of the year I swim 2000 yards here MWF at lunch, outdoors in the sun. Beautiful. Woollett Aquatic Center in Irvine, CA a couple miles from where I work.



On Tuesdays and Thursdays I play outdoor full court basketball, again all year round.

I go home for lunch so I can let my old dog out to pee.

I eat lunch at my desk. I don't take any breaks. I put in my 8 hours and leave as soon as possible.

I wolf down a sandwich as fast as I can, I work at a hospital and breaks are never the 30mins as advertised.

Depends. Lately I've brought my own lunch 95% of the time. In the past, I've had months/years where I'd either eat out or not eat at all due to business 95% of the time.
